21 York Place, Footdee, Aberdeen, AB11 5DH

One of the city’s leading walking tour companies, Hidden Aberdeen Tours was created in 2011 by historian Dr Fiona-Jane Brown, a published author. A range of historical-themed walks last for two hours, and there are also mini-tours for an hour around Old Aberdeen, Duthie Park and Torry.

You can also enjoy indoor storytelling events at three of Aberdeen’s pubs which are located in historic areas of the city. These sessions place an emphasis on the darker elements of local history including executions, ghosts, riots and crime. But fear not – Dr Brown and co. entertain visitors in a warm and safe backdrop!
